Search box on home page
The following has been added to the Home page to enable a drop down search box. To add, use Insert Widget and Other HTML. Make sure the information behind the links doesn't show - may need to copy into a text editor first. If you make any changes, don't forget to save them in this page, too. Also, make sure you take out everything after the 2 slashes in the 3rd line - they have been put in in the text editor to stop the text from changing to italics - they are needed for the script to work in Internet Explorer.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// take out this line apart from the first 2 slashes //
function dropdown(mySel)
{
var myWin, myVal;
myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value;
if(myVal)
{
if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target];
else myWin = window;
if (! myWin) return true;
myWin.location = myVal;
}
return false;
}

Litguides drop down boxes
The following has been added to the English page: eng and to the Literature Studies Guides page: litguides, to add the drop down menus which link to the Literature Guides. To add, copy the text (make any changes first) and use Insert Widget and Other HTML. Make sure the information behind the links doesn't show - may need to copy into a text editor first. Also, make sure you take out everything after the 2 slashes in the 3rd line - they have been put in in the text editor to stop the text from changing to italics - they are needed for the script to work in Internet Explorer.
